Washington BB Gun Teamby Cassidy

When I choose what topic I wanted to cover for my backpack story, I thought about it long and hard. I wanted to do a story on something that I was passionate about and understand on a deep level.

I was on the Washington BB Gun Team from approximately 2008 to 2016. I cannot begin to explain how much this team has impacted my life. Dave and Debbi were like a second set of parents to me, and Blake was like a little brother.

To get this story how I wanted it, I needed a lot of b-roll. I went to two different practices to get some kids shooting and taking the test. I went another night to get my interviews with Dave and Debbi.

This story fell together fairly easy. I had very minimal audio adjustments to make on the interviews, and I knew I wanted to use natural sound of the shots firing.

​I am really proud that I can say I did this story all on my own! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed producing it!
